Small ÷ Said ◎ Net 】, ♂ Small ÷ Said ◎ Net 】,
The popularity of fame didn't have much impact on Xiao Yunhai's life, what to do or what to do. After all, there are too many celebrities coming out of the Yanjing Film Academy. One more Xiao Yunhai is not much, and one less Xiao Yunhai is a lot.
Apart from being envious and jealous at the beginning, the classmates soon recovered their calm.
After such a long period of study in the directing profession and understanding on the set, Xiao Yunhai felt that he could try to direct a play.
Forget about TV dramas and movies, and now he doesn't have that kind of skill. After thinking about it, he decided to shoot a micro-movie to try it out. After a careful search in his mind, Xiao Yunhai finally decided to shoot "The Gate of Time".
The content of this micro-movie "Time Gate" is very simple.
Kai is a company executive who has been busy with work and entertainment. On the tenth wedding anniversary, he wanted to spend time with his wife, but he didn't want to suddenly faint in the parking lot.
After Kai woke up, he learned that his memory would slowly disappear, and the doctor could only retain the memory he wanted most through new medical technology.
After a difficult choice, in the end Kai was left with a scene of himself and his family.
Once the film was released in the previous life, it garnered millions of views and sparked widespread debate in society.
Although this play is a micro-movie, the things it involves are very complicated.
The characters, plot, soundtrack, venue, photography, costumes, props, post-production and other links in the big movie are all included, which is equivalent to a miniature version of the big screen movie, which is suitable for the budding director like Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai brought the script to his teacher Yao Wenyuan and asked him to read the script for help.
After reading it, Yao Wenyuan took off his glasses and said to the student he admired the most: "This book is very good, it makes people feel very warm. Did you write it?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and told Yao Wenyuan about his plans.
Yao Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Who are you going to cast as the hero and heroine?"
"Teacher, I want to challenge the male protagonist?"
"You?" Yao Wenyuan was startled, he frowned, looked at Xiao Yunhai from top to bottom,
Shaking his head: "You are too young. Although the current makeup technology can turn you into a middle-aged man without flaws, but wanting to play the protagonist's experienced and gentle mature temperament in the trick is not enough. very difficult."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said: "Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I have the confidence to interpret him well. In fact, what I worry most about is the other actors, especially the heroine. The classmates in our school are too young to Do you know if there are any suitable candidates for the teacher?"
"You kid? You are so confident in yourself, but when it comes to other people, it's obviously distrustful. You can play middle-aged men, can't other female students in our school be middle-aged women? Hmph, typical Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps.”
Hearing Yao Wenyuan's words, Xiao Yunhai could only sit there and smirk in embarrassment.
Yao Wenyuan thought for a while and continued: "In our school, I think only teacher Zhang Xiaoyan fits the image of a well-informed, gentle and mature heroine."
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up. Teacher Zhang Xiaoyan is 34 years old this year. She is the teacher in charge of body shape at the film school. She is beautiful, virtuous, dignified and generous.
Xiao Yunhai hesitated: "Teacher, Teacher Zhang is indeed very suitable. But is she willing to act?"
Yao Wenyuan smiled and said, "I called and asked, I guess there should be no problem. She has always been very supportive of students' activities. And her daughter is very smart and cute, so she can play the leading role."
In front of Xiao Yunhai, Yao Wenyuan called Zhang Xiaoyan. As soon as Xiao Yunhai asked her to act with her daughter, Zhang Xiaoyan hesitated a little, and then agreed.
The protagonist's family of three has been found, and the remaining supporting roles are naturally very simple.
With the help of Yao Wenyuan, Xiao Yunhai applied for filming equipment from the school.
The venue chose Zhang Xiaoyan's newly renovated building. Xiao Yunhai found a nice hotel and rented an entire floor for money. The clothes the actors wore were also tailored to the characters' physiques.
As for the photographer, lighting engineer, artist, makeup artist and other crew members, Xiao Yunhai has also found them, all of them are the students with the best grades in various majors of Beijing Film Academy.
As soon as they heard that they wanted to help with the filming, they all agreed immediately. Such a good opportunity, they naturally will not let go.
Before filming started, Xiao Yunhai invited all the crew members to the hotel for a meal, which was considered the opening banquet of "Time Gate".
During the dinner, Xiao Yunhai solemnly thanked Mr. Zhang Xiaoyan, who not only agreed to play the role, but also donated his house as a filming venue. Xiao Yunhai was very grateful.
The other classmates were all very excited. They were filming in earnest.
They study in school for three or four years, and usually go to the production crew to mix, at most, just to watch. For equipment such as cockroaches, the crew wouldn't even let them touch it, let alone test it.
The next day, the first play "Time Gate" directed by Xiao Yunhai officially started.
Downstairs in the hotel, Xiao Yunhai lifted the red cloth covering the camera all at once, and Zhang Xiang, the drama manager, lit firecrackers, and the crew clapped their hands excitedly amid the crackling sound. Everyone's dream will start from here.
Yao Wenyuan, the art director, looked at the group of cheering young people and sighed softly: "How difficult it is to get ahead in the entertainment industry, I don't know how many of them are able to get along. Maybe this is the case. The first film is their last film."
The mature and dignified Zhang Xiaoyan pulled her daughter and said with a smile, "Mr. Yao is too pessimistic. Young people should be full of energy, strive and work hard for their ideals. No matter what the future results are, at least they all To have something to miss."
"I don't dare to tell others, but your student Xiao Yunhai has a bright future." Zhang Xiaoyan said, looking at Xiao Yunhai who was busy moving things with her classmates.
Originally, as a director, there is no need to do these physical tasks. As long as you tell the drama management, they will arrange the props and equipment for filming before shooting.
But the members of the crew of "Time Gate" are all classmates from the film school, and they don't even ask for a cent for the money, so they can't put on airs.
So whether it's the director or the photographer, we all help out together. Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and two trips back and forth were all completed.
Xiao Yunhai had been here before, and since the renovation had just been completed, there was still an unpleasant smell inside. However, it does not affect the shooting.
In order to create a warm feeling at home, Xiao Yunhai put a large photo of him and Zhang Xiaoyan and his mother and daughter on the wall, and put some small toys and desk calendars on the TV cabinet. Within half an hour, Xiao Yunhai took everyone to put The scene is set.
